1960s Achille Castiglioni & Pier Giacomo 'Light Ball' Table Lamp
1960s Achille Castiglioni & Pier Giacomo 'Light Ball' Table Lamp. Originially designed in 1965 as a wall lamp, this rare table lamp variant is executed in attractively patinated brass and opaline glass. An incredibly refined and iconic midcentury design that is quintessentially Italian. Unmarked.
